  • Ainu Imaginary, Ethnicity and Assimilation
    The Fight for Self-Representation: Ainu Imaginary, Ethnicity and Assimilation Marcos P. Centeno Martín Abstract: Film representation of the Ainu people is as old as cinema but it has not remained stable over time. From the origins of cinema, Ainu people were an object of interest for Japanese and foreign explorers who portrayed them as an Other, savage and isolated from the modern world. The notion of “otherness” was slightly modified during wartime, as the Ainu were represented as Japanese subjects within the “imperial family”, and at the end of the fifties when entertainment cinema presented the Ainu according to the codes of the Hollywood Western on the one hand; and Mikio Naruse proposed a new portrayal focusing on the Ainu as a long-discriminated social collective rather than as an ethnic group, on the other. However, Tadayoshi Himeda’s series of seven documentaries following the Ainu leader Shigeru Kayano’s activities marked a significant shift in Ainu iconography. Himeda challenged both the postwar institutional discourse on the inexistence of minorities in Japan, and the touristic and ahistorical image that concealed the Ainu’s cultural assimilation to Japanese culture. The proposed films do not try to show an exotic people but a conventional people struggling to recover their collective past. Shifts in Ainu Film Representations The relationship between film and the Ainu people is as old as cinema. They are featured in The Ainu in Yeso (Les Aïnous à Yéso, 1897), which are two of the first thirty-three cinematographic sequences shot in Japan as part of the actualités filmed by the French operator François-Constant Girel for a Lumière brothers catalogue.

There are only four lidar stations in the world, which have almost continuously performed observations of the stratospheric aerosol layer (SAL) state for over the last 30 years. The longest time series of the SAL lidar measurements have been accumulated at the Mauna Loa Observatory (Hawaii) since 1973, the NASA Langley Research Center (Hampton, Virginia) since 1974, and Garmisch-Partenkirchen (Germany) since 1976. The fourth lidar station we present started to perform routine observations of the SAL parameters in Tomsk (56.48 N, 85.05 E, Western Siberia, Russia) in 1986. In this 15 paper, we mainly focus on and discuss the stratospheric background period from 2000 to 2005 and the causes of the SAL perturbations over Tomsk in the 2006–2015 period. During the last decade, volcanic aerosol plumes from tropical Mt. Manam, Soufriere Hills, Rabaul, Merapi, Nabro, and Kelut, and extratropical (northern) Mt.

This directorate conducts analyses of security policy, regional analyses, studies of political-military issues, and strategy and force assessments. CNA Strategic Studies is part of the global community of strategic studies institutes and in fact collaborates with many of them. On the ground experience is a hallmark of our regional work. Our specialists combine in-country experience, language skills, and the use of local primary-source data to produce empirically based work. All of our analysts have advanced degrees, and virtually all have lived and worked abroad. Similarly, our strategists and military/naval operations experts have either active duty experience or have served as field analysts with operating Navy and Marine Corps commands. They are skilled at anticipating the “problem after next” as well as determining measures of effectiveness to assess ongoing initiatives. A particular strength is bringing empirical methods to the evaluation of peace-time engagement and shaping activities. The Strategic Studies Division’s charter is global. In particular, our analysts have proven expertise in the following areas: The full range of Asian security issues The full range of Middle East related security issues, especially Iran and the Arabian Gulf Maritime strategy Insurgency and stabilization Future national security environment and forces European security issues, especially the Mediterranean littoral West Africa, especially the Gulf of Guinea Latin America The world’s most important navies Deterrence, arms control, missile defense and WMD proliferation The Strategic Studies Division is led by Dr.

Geographical Distribution Patterns of the Apiaceae in Sakhalin and the Kurillslands Hideki Takahashi The Hokkaido University Museum, Sapporo 060-0810, Japan E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Thirty species of the Apiaceae in Sakhalin (S) and the Kuril Islands (K) were examined on 1,592 specimens deposited in the main Japanese herbaria: KYO, SAPS, SAPT, TI and TNS. The geographical distribution of 27 of these 30 species was determined quantitatively. Ligusticum scoticum (number of specimens: S+K = 190) and Tilingia ajanensis (S+K = 171) represent the two most abundant species of the Apiaceae in these regions. The Sakhalin-Kurils index (S-K index: S-K/S+K) of L. scoticum showed a somewhat negative numerical value, -0.11, and that of T. ajanensis showed an especially negative value, -0.43, meaning a clear distribution bias of the latter species toward the Kurils. However, many Apiaceae species are characterized by positive S-K indices, which means generally a distribution bias toward Sakhalin. An extreme high positive S-K index (+ 1.00), which means the presence in Sakhalin but the absence in the Kurils, is found in the following six species: Angelica edulis (but only S+K = 1), A.

  • Surviving Sudden Environmental Change: Answers from Archaeology
    ONE Hazards, Impacts, and Resilience among Hunter-Gatherers of the Kuril Islands Ben Fitzhugh ARCHAEOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO CATASTROPHIC EvEnts in thE huntEr-GathErEr ContExt This chapter explores hunter-gatherer vulnerability in the context of relative isolation and a highly dynamic natural environment. The setting is the Kuril Islands of the Northwest Pacific, and the data set is a 4,000-year record of human settlement and environmental history generated by the Kuril Biocomplexity Project, a large, interdisciplinary, and international research effort fielded from 2006 to 2008. The presupposition entering this project was that this relatively isolated, volcanic, earthquake- and tsunami-prone subarctic region should be among the more difficult habitats for hunter-gatherer populations to occupy consistently and, as a result, that the archaeological record should reflect peri- odic abandonments, at least in the most isolated (and smallest) central islands. The results of this study speak less to this heuristic presupposition than to the idea of resilience in the face of ecological impoverishment, catastrophic events, and climate changes. The history we are uncovering highlights the importance of linked social, economic, and demographic processes in conditioning vulner- ability and shaping people’s resilience in the environment. Hazards and disasters are the focus of increasing interest in natural and social science, stimulated by growing media attention to disasters around the world. Calls for improved prediction of catastrophic events have generated 19 BEN FITZHUGH enhanced support for retrospective studies of historical pattern and periodicity in earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, floods, drought, climate change, and other natural hazards. Social science has entered this arena to better under- stand human responses to hazardous events and environmental change, most recently calling for more integrated research into the socio-natural dynamics of disasters (Blaikie et al.

There are only four lidar stations in the world role of both tropical and northern volcanic eruptions in vol- which have almost continuously performed observations of canogenic aerosol loading of the midlatitude stratosphere is the stratospheric aerosol layer (SAL) state over the last also discussed.
